The Electronic Frontier Foundation and some public-spirited lawyers have won a big victory on behalf of people who want to speak their minds without fear of unfair retribution. Thanks in part to EFF’s intervention, Medinex Systems dropped a suit against message board posters who’d written unfriendly things about the company.
Representing the John Does was Farella, Braun and Martel, a San Francisco law firm. Kudos to the firm and the EFF.
